The most amazing life of any mathematician. Only worked on mathematics for four years. Couldn't pass university entrance exams. Much of his work done in prison. Almost none of his work was published. Died at 20. Largely forgotten for a century after his death. Yet he was one of the top handful of mathematicians of the 19th century.
Universal truth is in math, but it later became based on a system of theories. Once in a while, some step back and retrace the root of the problem. Which requires going back and reading the history on Math. Those who think outside the box always ask why. (IMO I believe the Bible is true) I noticed the change in the 1600s: KJV Holy Bible 1611 - Galileo's ‘The Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems' (Dialogo sopra i due massimi sistemi del mondo) is a 1632 Italian-language book by Galileo's comparing the Copernican system with the traditional Ptolemaic system. For all his contributions Galileo was put on house arrest until his death. His final works were kept from the histories. The Index Librorum Prohibitorum (‘List of Prohibited Books') was a changing list of publications deemed heretical or contrary to morality. J. Martínez de Bujanda's Index Librorum Prohibitorum, 1600-1966 lists the authors and writings in the successive editions of the Index, while Miguel Carvalho Abrantes's Why Did The Inquisition Ban Certain Books?. -- Newton published his laws of motion and gravity, from which a heliocentric system with planets in approximately elliptical orbits is deducible.

As long as you feel like making these videos, please do. I highly appreciate someone doing this. I wish there was more exposure to the history of Science and Maths chronologically. A chronological study of their simultaneously with their history I believe would give sense to how they developed, one step to the other in a way that made sense giving a unified and continuous view to Science and Maths.
Galois born in 1811, Chopin in 1810. It is even possible that Galois attended a Chopin salon show between 1830-1832 just after the 1830 Warsaw Uprising when Chopin moved to Paris, and of course before Galois' death.
Excellent introduction to the life of Galois. It is astonishing how many near misses he had with regards to being recognized during his life. I enjoyed learning Galois Theory in the mid 70’s and held onto it just long enough to pass my first-year exams. Now, a half century later, I am hoping to gather enough will and energy to repeat the effort. Should be fun. When I have to opportunity to teach a class that includes finding roots of polynomials, I always try to convey a sense of the history that leads to the idea as to why there is no general formula for solving polynomials of degree five or higher. Mark Carey - mind if I borrow “The Rimbaud of mathematics”? Genius!
When I taught Abstract Algebra and we would get to the topic of Galois Theory / Galois sets, I would always spend 5 or 10 minutes explaining a bit about the history of the Galois, his life, the times in which he lived, and about his untimely death by duel. That was a long time ago. Now I need to pick up my notes and review the math as I have reached a point where I have gotten so rusty that I need to refresh my memory.
Great video and tribute to Galois! My cryptography professor told us a lot about Galois, he admired him and complained about how hollow and childish life is for young people nowadays.
It does no good to be a genius in mathematics (or anything else) if your head isn't screwed on straight. There is nothing Galois did in mathematics that would not have been done by someone else if Galois had never lived. His insanity got him killed.
There's no way anyone could have done what Galois did. His abstraction of certain algebraic properties lead to the foundation of algebraic structures like Groups. Plz don't belittle his ground breaking original work and he is an inspiration for all teenagers. Have a good day
The only universal truth is math, unless someone changes the rules. Language and Math are connected more than one would think. Critical thinking will lead you to the root of the problem. If you never question how or who came up with such mathematical formulas, you are accepting principles rather than facts. Do law or principles set in place make it true? The scope on how in the 1600s the foundation of some laws and principles changed, who and why it happened. Real critical thinking begins by research in History, and going to the formulas used. Ask how, why, who and when.

Absolutely
At last, a video about the mathematical icon Evariste Galois!

one of the most fascinating mathematicians ever existed

History of Galois with Chopin’s sonata for cello and piano in the background is just amazing. Thanks for the video

love the historical background behind mathematical theories
Great video, as usual. Galois life ended too soon but the legacy he left for us is a treasure.
GALOIS IS A LEGEND! 👏👏👏 AMAZING CONTENT
Excellent video, thank you for taking the time to create and post
Finally, I've been waiting for this video for so long
These stories seem sad when they die young. Imagine the work he could have contributed to mathematics and other fields
Great video, perfect narration!
I have been waiting for this video!
Great video and tribute to Galois! My cryptography professor told us a lot about Galois, he admired him and complained about how hollow and childish life is for young people nowadays.
Thanks a lot for this video
read about him in a fantastic book called Love and Math. I would watch a movie on this guy's life.
The Rimbaud of mathematics
Galois didn’t die from cancer
He really was about that life
The king
Amazingly productive short life against all odds!!!! 👏👏👏
THANKS SO MUCH
WOULD LOVE ONE ON ANDRE WEIL
Any history of Galois life is brief as his life was. With the benefit of hindsight the reasons for why he was killed seem to futile now.
Thanks mate
If the math don't add up, then what's the problem. (wheels turning)
A math icon whose mathematical shoelaces are virtually impossible to untie.

Your discord is kinda dead, innit.
Yeah with my full time job and other ventures, it's been hard to properly liven it up.
15:21 Jacobi was German
Indeed
Increasing intelligence
Real-life good will hunting 1.0. I am good will hunting 2.0 Galois is issac newton mathematics. I am good Will Hunting 2.0.
"don't cry, alfred. I'll need all my courage to die at 20"
😂
Galois 👍
Tragic
❤❤
The back round music is very irritating
